Fedders Complaint - Fedders Do Not Buy From Them - Fedders Condenser Unit

Fedders Condenser Unit - Complaint
Review by elif9 on 2011-07-19
I bought a Fedders condenser unit and had it installed by Elite in Lakewood NJ. The unit was a lemon and never worked properly. I tried calling Fedders to have the condenser replaced but they told me that they will not honor any warranties. Stay away! for the following reasons.

1) the quality of the parts is low to terrible.

2) They will not replace faulty parts.

3) They are really not nice on the phone when you try to speak to someone.

Buy another brand for sure!!!

Thanks for the warning. From the looks of your review and some of the other write ups on Fedders, I'll stick with the cheap Goldstar and used Samsung units I have.

Alain, I have always been pleased with Goldstar products. Emerson, too. It looks like Fedders has gone the route of other major manufacturers. The Fedders name used to represent quality. Sometimes I wonder where all of this is headed and how it's going to end. I think consumers are reaching the breaking point.

Venice, that's good news about the Goldstar products! That thing upstairs has been chugging along for 5 or 6 years now with no problems. No question about it, quality is getting worse. By the way, either you stayed up late or you got up early, but "Good Morning!" either way! Looks like our a/c will get a work out today. How's you weather?

Good morning, Alain! 3:00 a.m. seems to be my witching hour. I wake up and can't go back to sleep. That's how I end up here.

The weather is bad but it could be worse. At least the nights are cooling off a bit. It's supposed to reach 99 by the end of the week. We only have one a/c and it is definitely getting a workout. Can't wait until July is over. It's always the worst month.

3 AM! Shoot, Spice at least lets me sleep in until 3:30 or so. Maybe he likes the office air conditioner better than the upstairs one. We're only due to hit 93 today (+ humidity), but I expect the a/c to be running constantly until September at this rate.

We're looking at 99+ today. Baby C and I are down on the farm and my mom and I were planning on taking Baby C and her cousin to the zoo. Don't know if that's going to happen.

Clutzy, I dont think you'll be going to the zoo, because you'll spend of most of the time looking for shades in the zoo and little time looking at the animals. Wait till it cools down some, then you'll enjoy being outside at the zoo.
